Fats as Tonics.

Fats, especially those which are of easy
digestion, like cod liver oil and sweet
cream, are also essential to the well being
Of the nervous system. The peculiar
substance e-neurine-found in all nervous
structures contains fat as an essential con-
stituent: 1t is remarkable that most
ssnervous'' individuals have strong aver
sion to fats as articles Of diet. This is ex-
tremely unfortunate, for the omission Of
fats and oils from the diet tends to not
only continue the nervousness, but to in-
crease the irritability and weakness. Cod
liver oil Is most valuable medicine In
such cases, because it is already partly
digested by admixture with the bile Sc
creted by the liver Of the fish, nnd thus
rendered still more easy Of absorption.
The labor OF digestion is thus partly taken
away from the tasks to be performed by
the invalid. OF course, the flshy odor is
Objectionable ut first, but this is generally
easily overcome by continuing its use for
q short time. There are few prepara-
tions on the market in which oil Of some
kind has been partially digested by admix-
ture with pancreatine. Emulsions thus
made are palatable, but much more ex-
pensive than the crude oi.--Globe-Dem-
ocrat.

The Dressing, of Store Windows.

know of nothing that shows greater
diversity Of taste than the dressing of
store windows ON Main street. Some
seem possessed with the idea that 1t is abb
solutely necessary to get sample OF
every article in the store and crowd every
thing into the window. Others throw
two or three articles into case, push it
into window and leave it there till it
gets hidden from view by accumulations
Of dust. Others again dress their win
dows skillfuliy and then pile up and hang
goods outside until no person can see
what is inside. Some place few things
effectively arranged in the window and
change them frequently, thereby giving
passers by something new to see every
time they pass. A well dressed window
is the next best thing to good newspaper
advertisement, and its Importance is rec
ognized by successful business men,

The "a1achete" of Central America.


I was in Nicaragua with Walker, and
in other Central American countries. and
can explain what the instrument or
weapon. (for it is both) really is. The
machete Is the most priced and the most
used Of any implement The native al
ways curries it with him wherever, when
ever and for whatever he goes. 1t is his
weapon for defense against man and
beast. It cuts his way through the dense
jungles. It cuts the grass and chop of the
green corn for his horse or mule. With
it he kills and cuts up his hogs and beef,
and with it he slices his meat and bread.
It is his best and most reliable farming
implement. 1t is a knife varying in
length from eighteen to twenty-four
inches, and about two inches wide, taper
Ing to point. He uses primitive plow
sometimes, but the machete always.
With 1t he clears the briers, the brush and
the long grass, and with a sharp stick or
this same machete he punches holes in the
ground at irregular distances, drops in his
corn, covers it with his heel, and retires to
the shade for kind nature to do the rest,
or rather for nature to do the work and
himself to rest. AS q weapon it is most
formidable, and was much dreaded by our
soldiers during the invasion Of Mexico.
There is class Of mounted scouts, armed
with machetes and known as Machateros,
who are much dreaded in war.-Col.

hanufacture of Counterfeit jewels.

Artificial precious stones have become
an important article Of trade. The pro-
ducts of some Of the shops would almost
deceive an expert, but the. test Of hard
ness is still infallible. The beautiful
"Erench PASTE" from which imitation
diamonds arc made, is kind OF glass
with q mixture of oxide Of lead. The
more of the latter the brighter the stone,
but also the softer, and this Is serious
defect. The imitation stones are now 30
perfectly made, and are SO satisfactory to
those who are not very particular, that
their influence begins to be felt In the
market for real stones.
BY careful selection OF the Ingredients,
and skill and manipulation, the luster,
color, fire and water of the choicest stones
are to the eyes Of the layman fully repro
duced. There are a few delicacies OF
color that cannot be perfectly given, for
they depend on some undiscoverable pecu-
harities Of molecular arrangement and
not On chemical composition; but the per-
sons who buy the stones know nothing Of
that. Yet Sidot, French chemist, has
nearly reproduced these peculiarities, In
Guiding the dichroism of the sapphire,
with composition of which the base Is
phosphate of lime. Two other French
chemists, Frenzy and Fell, have produced
rubies and sapphires having the same
composition with the genuine stones and
nearly equal hardness. Popular Science

Methods of Reading Books.

It is easy to read, yet no two men, who
have made anything Of themselves, ever
read the same book in q similar way.
Neander, the church historian, read book
carefully through, making notes on the
margin. DR.. Johnson, on the contrary,
used to dip into book at random. He
read enough to seize the leading ideas
and then threw it aside. Daniel Webster
began with the table Of contents and only
read such parts Of the text as would give
him new ideas or add to his stock Of
knowledge.-Youth's Companion.

Tho Meaning of a "Boom.n


Do not listen to the man who proposes
to ssboom' your business. An excessive
ssboom" means working at high pressure.
The margin or "factor" of safety be-
comes too small to Withstand the strain
and your "boom, becomes o burst bub.
BILE. On the other hand, should the boom
be carried out, a reaction IS sure to follow.
The higher the 'boom" the lower the
"doom" will be to which your business
descends. Booming may well be COM
pared with alcoholic stimulating. The
latter will make things hum for time,
but the reaction surely comes, and things
are equalized to e. dead level. Then and
there are the "boomed' and the stimu-
lated found wanting. Force business with
conservative pressure. 1t may not go fast
enough, but 1t will surely reach the mark
II persistence handles the throttle.-Bos-

Food Of the Canary Islanders.

The splendid physical development Of
the Canary Islanders gives special interest
to their peculiar food. Five-sixths Of the
inhabitants, according to DR.. c. F. Taylor,
subsist almost exclusively upon O fine
flour made by grinding roasted wheat,
corn or barley. This is called go1o.
Being already cooked, it requires no pre-
paration for eating except mixing to any
desired consistency with milk, soup or any
suitable fluid. Gofio is delicious, whole
some, highly nutritious and very con-
yenient to use. For these reasons, and
the important one that it seems to remove
q tendency to acidity of the stomach, DR..
Taylor recommends tho addition of this
food to our own already large variety

Kussia,s Increasine Population.

According to Gen. Strelbitski, Russia,
by the normal increase Of her population,
will in 1887 have 8 population of
15O,000,000. AS at present she has only
seventeen persons to the square mile, she
can carry the whole of this increase and
then only have twenty y-seven to the mile.
Germany has now 60, Great Britain 110,
and Belgium 201. The birth rate of Rus
sia is far more formidable factor in inter-
national politics than all the maneuverings

Pecu,larities of Pronunciation.

An observing Englishman who has been
travelling in New England says that a
genuine Massachusetts man Gun always
be detected by the marked way in which
he makes two syllables Of the word tun-

often detect an Englishman by the marked
way in which he makes one syllable out
of that word.-New York Tribune
